On September 9, 2025, Proplastics Limited, a major Zimbabwean manufacturer of plastic pipes and fittings, appeared on the LockBit 5 ransomware group's leak site with internal files reportedly exfiltrated during an attack. The listing affects anyone whose personal or employment data was stored in the company's systems, including customers, suppliers, and employees whose information may now sit in an attacker-controlled archive.

You can’t unleak data. You can take away what it’s worth.
A leaked record is where it starts, not where it ends. What turns it into your front door is the look-up sites publishing your address beside your name — and those are what an AI reads when somebody asks about you. The free scan shows you both. We write to 580 companies.

Reported Details from Reports
Public reporting indicates the data was stolen in a ransomware incident and later published on the LockBit leak site. The exposed material consists of internal files rather than a structured database dump. No confirmed victim count has been released, and the precise volume or sensitivity of the documents remains unclear from available reporting. The listing carries the hallmarks of a typical LockBit extortion post, where samples are shown before full data release or auction.
Why This Matters for You and Your Family
When a regional manufacturer suffers a breach, the impact reaches ordinary people. If you have ever bought products from Proplastics, worked there, supplied materials, or had your details recorded in their invoicing, HR, or customer systems, your information could be exposed. Names, addresses, phone numbers, email accounts, and financial details are common in corporate file shares. Once public, this data fuels identity theft, phishing, and harassment that can affect your household for years.
Children are not immune. Family addresses linked to a parent’s employment record can surface in gaming communities, exposing younger users to doxxing or account takeovers on platforms where they use the same email or phone number.
